A fix for mine spammers

since I know about mines in my family of military men, I know that they are very fragile. So, with that in “mine,” here’s my idea to fix them.

If one unfriend mine is placed close enough to a friend mine, both will explode for half the damage each, but all will be affected.

However, friend mines can still be stack on top of each other.

Another idea is to up the cooldown of mines to 18 seconds. Mine spamming is a huge problem in this game as it limits the amount of area to play, and doesn’t make gameplay as fun and exciting. Just long and boring.

Hopefully you agree. HARPO!

 

I beg to differ. Regardless of the number mines planted very few are ever detonated during any particular battle. It is mostly time wasted by the mine “spammer”, meaning his/her contribution to the team is hindered. Mine fields in real life are obstacle courses to be navigated with care, the same should be true in the game. I view mines as a challenge, not a burden. AS a compromise, I’d suggest making mines able to damage all ships, not just the opposing team, just like real life. This would result in miners being more judicious when placing them in the map.

 

That would lead to people killing their teammates. Some people don't want their teammates alive because of their country flag or their set up. I'm not saying I would, but other people might. Infmay tankers can also use mines to harm their own team in order to lose.

 

How about you can set a max of 5 mines.

For example:

I place mine#1

Then I place mine#2, mine#3, mine#4 and mine #5

Once I place mine#6, mine#1 will automatically explode. And so on.

Common sense in avoiding the spam of traps like this is used in mosy Call of Duty's.

 

I like it.

 

Sabotage! Can’t trust anyone these days....

 

Like a player from ( I dunno) Russia would want to kill one from the U.S.A?

 

I guess. And selfish fixer haters would kill selfish fixers, though I don't get why they hate selfish fixers so much.

 

I said that you can’t kill your teammates. Your mines can stack.

 

Well then turn off flags. I don’t care. This is a fair way. Maybe not so much damage when they explode, maybe just have them explode. Just get them out of the way. It’s retarded.

 

I wasn't replying to you. I was replying to The Black Rain.

 

Oh sorry. I was paying attention bro.

 

Was thinking you were taking this in a slightly different direction. The issue with mine spamming is that it locks out map areas with little negative effect to the spammers. Thought you would say if two friendly mines are placed too closely together they both immediately detonate and damage ANYONE (friend or foe) who is near enough to the blast radius.

 

The simplest solution to instantly fix all spamming (be it Mines, Torps or Mortars), is to get rid of Shooters.

 

*facepalm*

It’s not the shooters doing it, it’s the fixers and enforcers

 

No one complained of mine spamming when a player named Christmas was doing it. He was actually applauded for the innovation and was one of the highest rated players.

 

I just silently complained. 5x t5 epic mines is soooooo CHEEEEEEEZE!

 

That’s because it was cool and he was the only one doing it. Now that everyone is it’s a pain in the butt

 

omg dont get me started on that

 

You can't tell mines apart anyway, so they might as well deal damage to friends, too. It'd feel a little more forgiving if friendly mines had a bright label above them to minimize the amount of teammates accidentally running into them.
